Description

Scott started Riverdale Recorders in 1995 and has produced a number of CD's and other projects. He has television audio experience with Shaw Cable and Videon. And he was also a technical producer at CKUA Radio. Over the years, Scott has worked with Cheryl Croucher of Porcupine Stone Productions on segments for EcoFile, all the Heritage Trails vignettes and now Innovation Alberta.

CKUA was founded in 1927 on the University of Alberta campus by H.P. Brown, the audio-visual director in the U of A's Department of Extension. Brown was a visionary with a dream of using radio to deliver education to the people, particularly those in rural Alberta. He set about securing a provincial government grant to ostensibly hire an "assistant" for his department. But upon receiving the $700 allocation, he used the money to set up a radio station and began broadcasting university courses and other educational programs via the airwaves.

We are very pleased to be involved with the Innovation Alberta Omnimedia Project. As an educator of future leaders and a producer of research, we welcome the opportunities to explain to a broad audience, the nature of our work here and its impact on the community.

The University of Lethbridge has several projects under consideration for the future - a new art gallery, a building for the Faculty of Management - and is currently working with the community to develop a long-term proposal for a combined field house/ wellness centre to replace an aging and small gymnasium facility. Academic programming continues to expand, with collaborative agreements in place with numerous other colleges and universities. Research projects, and funding for those projects, continues to be generated at a significant volume.
